Notes on New Tools, New Schools: Starting the Conversation about Web 2.0
Presenters: Gwen Solomon, TechLearning.com with Timothy Magner, Will Richardson, Lynne Schrum and David Warlick
This was more of an audience participation session than I thought it would be. With the names I saw on the presenter list I thought it would be interesting to hear them speak on Web 2.0 in the classroom and do a little in person compare/contrast of some of their ideas. It's always interesting to hear what "regular people" like me have to say; I was just expecting something different.
- Richardson: We still hear too many "yeah, but's"
- Warlick: need to USE Web 2.0 tools in the conversation; not just talk about them
- Schumann: need to parter with Higher Ed and teacher prep
- Magner: Everyone went to Industrial Age schools but are teaching and learning in the Information Age; School 2.0
- Student introduced the audience to http://www.scriptovia.com/ a learning networking site

Lot's of agreement that something needs to be done; lot's of agreement that we don't exactly know what to do.
